Desire
G.U.R.I Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah,
Lover I'm off the streets
Gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
With a red guitar, on fire
Desire

She's the candle
Burning in my room
I'm like the needle
Needle and spoon
Over the counter
With a shotgun
Pretty soon, everybody got one
And the fever when I'm beside her
Desire,
Desire

Desire
Desire

Burning
Burning

She's the dollars
She's my protection
Yeah, she's the promise
In the year of election
Ah, sister, I can't let you go
I'm like a preacher
Stealing hearts at a traveling show
For the love or money, money?
Desire
Desire




Desire
Desire

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics of the song "Desire" by G.U.R.I, convey an imagery of leaving behind the mundane life on the streets to venture into the bright lights of the big city, armed with determination symbolized by a "red guitar, on fire." The following lines project the singer's passionate longing for a woman with the help of the metaphorical candle in his dark room, the needle that injects the fever into his blood, and the shotgun that everyone desires. The excitement of his proximity with the woman, defined by the word "fever" completes the stanza.


The subsequent verse shifts from this passionate and sensual portrayal of desire to a more pragmatic take on it. Here, the woman is not just a passion; she is also like the money that provides protection and the promises that politicians make during the election. The singer likens himself to a preacher touring through places and stealing hearts for love or money. Through these metaphors, the lyrics of "Desire" reveal how the singer is caught in the perplexing dilemma of whether his desire for money can overrule his love or vice versa.
